Oh no, Yuri is dying!
But it's okay, we have money!
Sinners won't mind having their rations cut to a fourth for twenty years!
Putting Yuri's head in a stasis box!
Spending gross amounts of money to ensure she can live without it!
Yuri is so ashamed and embarrassed, she made such a rookie mistake and everyone paid the price!
But it's okay, we all make mistakes!
What matter more is being able to stand up after falling!
Yuri feels hurt even more when you put it that way, but it's okay, she's alive!
She has friends now!
But Yuri is such a burden, she can't even feed herself!
Having Gregor carry her around makes her feel even more useless!
There's no escape from this spiral of depression!
Yuri can't even bring herself to take a bite anymore!
Yuri is getting less and less talkative!
Maybe she should have died.
Maybe she's just one big mistake.
She can't even take her own life anymore.
Her existence now is pure suffering, for herself and others.
She's no different from a fallen apple, shrivelling up and festering until maggots take what little is left.
There won't even be any seeds left to take root and grow.
A failure to the very end.
The apple stares into nothing from day to day.
It doesn't acknowledge anyone anymore.
It doesn't even think, there's simply no point.
It simply closes its eyes.
...
Hm?
What's this?
There's something warm touching its hand, but it doesn't have any?
It opens its eyes and gasps in shock!
A body! She has a body!
Such is the power of money!
They are so lucky that Hong Lu had such priceless trinkets to sell!
A glimmer of hope!
It takes a bit to get used to a prosthetic body, but now Yuri can be useful!
Yuri can fight and protect everyone!
Yuri has never felt to happy!
Yuri finally found a place to belong and real friends!
Now she can stand tall and be proud of herself!
